Spend 30 minutes watching Super Fun Night and there's no denying the charm that is Rebel Wilson and friends. Last week's Valentine's-themed episode was a perfect combination of heart, laughs, and big moments. So before tonight's season finale (you will watch, right?), I sat down with producer, writer, and star Rebel Wilson to talk what's to come, who she wants Kimmie to be with, and how she spends a super fun day in L.A.

Glamour: Last week’s Valentine’s Day episode of Super Fun Night was so cute!Rebel Wilson: Aww, thank you! I wrote that episode actually. The schedule gets so crazy, so I had three days to write it, and I was really proud of it. I think I’m actually getting better at writing for TV! [Laughs] It had a mix of drama and comedy, and the musical elements, which I really love to do.

Glamour: When you have to write something like that so quickly, what’s your plan of attack?Rebel: Basically what I do is I just stay in my pajamas. I don’t even brush my hair and have it up in a scrunchie so it doesn’t get in the way, and I just sit there and write. I try to get up and walk around every two hours. You just beat out the story first, and then you write the script. I look at the jokes and try to put in more jokes and just make sure it’s all working. You kind of get the hang of it the more you do it. But it’s hard!

Are you personally Team Richard or Team James?Rebel: That’s a good question! In real life, they are both so good-looking and so charming! We all watched the Valentine’s Day episode together. In the finale episode, she’s kind of forced to choose. They both have such good qualities. For a potential season two, we’ll see the consequences. But in the season finale, there will be a resolution. Unlike Scandal, where you watch it and you’re like, "Ahhhh!" That’s one of my favorite shows, by the way. And there’s lots of good stuff with the Marika character (played by Lauren Ash).

Glamour: Since you’re such a big fan of Scandal, who would you most want to show up on Super Fun Night?Rebel: Imagine if Huck came over! He’d torture our three girls! Guillermo Diaz is such a nice guy. I met him a few months ago, and he’s just so nice.

Glamour: When you get to your dressing room each morning, what's the first thing you do?Rebel: Usually, and this might sound weird, I take Australian vitamins. It’s called Baraka, and it’s like B-12. You put it in water and dissolve it and start drinking it. It can also cure hangovers, but I don’t take it for that. Then I like to relax while I’m getting my hair and makeup done because we work 16-hour days. I put these massage things on the chairs, put on some spa music, and then I try to relax. I also use that time to learn my lines as well.

Glamour: You just had a birthday, so happy birthday! I saw you tweeted that all you wanted to do was sleep in, so please tell me you did.Rebel: Aww, thank you! Yeah, I did until like 10:30 A.M.!

Glamour: Just till 10:30? Oh, you should have slept until 2 or 3 in the afternoon!Rebel: [Laughs] But then I wouldn’t have been able to sleep the next night. Although I do love sleeping!

Glamour: How would you spend a super fun day and a super fun night in L.A., where you live?Rebel: For a super fun day, this might be seem weird, but I actually like hiking Fryman Canyon or Griffith Park. And a super fun night...there are so many amazing restaurants in West Hollywood. There’s one called Craig’s on Melrose or Crossroads also, where the food is vegan, but you don’t even think it’s vegan! And then there’s Cake Mix across the street by Duff Goldman. Kate Jenkinson, who plays Kendall on the show, went there with me and we made cakes for two hours. It was awesome, and then we took the cake home and ate it!

The season finale of Super Fun Night airs tonight on ABC at 9:30, 8:30 CT. Kimmie must deal with the fallout from her kiss with Richard and her relationship with James. Then, Richard's dad, Rupert Royce (guest star Charles Shaughnessy), throws the firm into chaos over who will be getting the next big promotion. Marika struggles to find a way to tell her friends she’s gay.
